Now 49 years of age, the three-cap Northern Ireland international has been retired for nearly two decades.
But his new career as an actor is thriving – and is actually overlapping with football.
His role in the CBBC show Jamie Johnson FC – about a group of talented players attempting to make it to the top level – sees him play the character Coach Byrne.
He has also performed in musical theatre across Europe, featuring in roles such as Sammy Davis Jr.
The former player in question is Jim Whitley.
He never made an appearance in the top tier but did feature numerous times for Man City in the Second Division.
He also racked up more than 100 games for Wrexham.
His small acting role as Coach Byrne could forge a new full-time career for Whitley.
